Added the missing anti-aliasing pixel filter size and threshold parameters for manual AA control (disable 'Auto AA' button).
Added support for yafray raytraced depth-of-field.
Added extra panel for Camera in edit window to edit dof paramaters.
The actual focus point will be drawn as a cross when camera 'ShowLimits' is enabled, similar to the aqsis code in tuhopuu.
Note to users: raytraced DoF is very slow, for best results, the default AA parameters are not good enough, especially with higher aperture values (more blur).
So for best results, disable 'Auto AA' and set the AA parameters yourself.
It works best with multi-pass AA ('AA passes' > 1) and a reasonable 'AA samples' value, something in the range 8 - 25 or even higher.
Currently the post-process DoF is not available in yafray, alternatives are being worked on.
When using xml export, yafray will now render the alpha channel as well when 'RGBA' button in blender is enabled (Plugin does this automatically).
In plugin code, fixed smooth shading bug for non-mesh objects.
Relative paths for textures are now recognized (plugin & xml).
Fixed problem with duplicate objects (plugin & xml).
Really old bug, sun position is now correct (plugin & xml).
World background now can also be a regular image texture (jpeg & tga), but for now always assumes spheremapping, which is not the same as Blender either. In yafray the texture is assumed to be a full 360 (panorama type) map.
convertBlenderScene.c cleanup, the identity transform 'hack' is removed.
THIS AFFECTS ALL EXTERNAL RENDERERS (Aqsis and others) WHICH RELY ON THE RENDERDATA OUTPUT, VERTICES AND LAMPCOORDINATES/VECTORS NOW NEED TO BE TRANSFORMED BACK TO WORLD COORDINATES. See yafray plugin/export code.
on my win32 box with my tests without crashing.
But be aware! There may be more of them watching
us, waiting for a moment of distraction, nobody
is safe.
Just making sure memory is always allocated and freed in the same
binary object, which seems to be mandatory on msvc if you don't have
the comercial version. If you are using this code you need to
syncronize with yafray cvs also, or it won't work. Binaries for os x
are updated in the link I gave in my last commit.
Needs latest yafray, you can get it from cvs, but I have also binaries
for os x here:
http://www.coala.uniovi.es/~jandro/noname/downloads/yafray-0.0.6-3.pkg.zip
To use it, go to yafray panels (global settings) and uncheck the "xml" button.
That would tell the export code to avoid xml export and use the yafray plugin
instead. You'll see the render being draw while running and you can even stop it
with ESC key.
Since I'm sure problems will appear, expect updates soon.
Remember: does not work on win32
